Web security

Scenario:

User opens two tabs of content needing authentication
Both are redirected to the login screen
User logs on in one of them and is granted access
User reloads the second page

Should it redirect to the requested location, or should it prompt for login again?

Should it redirect to the requested location, or should it prompt for login again?

It depends if the two tabs are isolated or sharing the same session.

If isolated, the second one would obviously still prompt to login.

Otherwise, it depends on how the login page is designed.
